*Shrugs* okay, so I'll just be so very FABULOUS!!!!

Thanks.
I've been looking for a chance to use this idea.
^_^
Dave still has to hit touch ac, anyways. :)

I thought that tybalt already drank his half?

?
No.
He didn't notice it going in his drink, but I thought they were still looking for a place to sit.

Tybalt, I was going with the several comments you've made that you apparently need to consciously choose to activate your lace to protect your thoughts. If that's wrong, let me know asap so I can edit my post.

Tybs if you were trying to get me to hear, I don't see how you could do that while also shielding yourself, unless you were an actual psion.

Btw, please, please, please, do not take this in game confrontation as "revenge" for the ooc argument tween Foul and I. I realized as I've been posting that the timing is really suspect, but I am pretty sure this is really the first time Ace, David and Tybalt have seen each other since David's mind control was broken.

Even if they have crossed paths since, Ace has been wanting to get this off his chest, and I likely forgot.

It is, but it's more of a subconscious thing. When he feels threatened(like right now) it activates.
Dave is someone he trusts at a subconscious level, so it will let it out towards him.

So there it is. ^_^

all I can say, thank goodness Mel isn't there...

But via your "loud thinking" I took that to be you manually overriding the off switch
@ace, it's all good, though Dave is really getting pissed at people continually airing their dirty laundry in public, very rude.

I think Foul's point still stands.

You're trying to both project your thoughts to David, but also shield them from Ace. Those are goals that should counter each other, resulting in you reaching David, but also letting your thoughts seep out to Ace.

Unless of course the Lace is capable of somehow knowing which specific thoughts sent to specific people it should block from others.

Which seems really convoluted and complex. Perhaps when this tech was originally brought in by Spugs, it worked that way, but now, I feel like we're trying to streamline these things to be as simple as possible.

Of course, I was not at all involved in any of that, other than reading here, so do not take my comments as at all right. Just stating how I feel Lyn and others were trying to handle the Culture tech.

Also, why didn't we just get rid of it all? Other than Tybalt's lace, what else is still active in the game?

I can deal with that.
I was mostly going for a whitelist he could allow telepathy to, but this makes as much sense, I suppose.

The sim rooms, the lace, and a bottle of supernaturally good smelling perfume are all I can think of off the top of my head,
I figure that Tybalt might be able to do the whole allowed/not allowed thing once he gets some work into training with the lace.

None of it as far as I know other than the lace and the microphone things Tyrrin, Dave, and possibly Mel have.
Roel's thing was gone before Johnny was. Storm was the only thing else, as far as I know. The bio tank left with Johnny.
We're keeping this, because 1 I like it and 2, there's no realistic in character reason to go and rip the thing out of Tyb's head.

Also the compassionate man suit.

In any case, Ace you're up,

Ugh.
Ace is a dick. This kind of behavior he's doing now just makes the skin crawl all the more when reading a "being all fake nice" post later.

Agreed, but that's his character, and IC is IC,
Raceist, sexist, elitist, and manipulative characters are a thing and can be used to make a good story,
"Fake nice" guys, as you put it, can be used for such too,

Ugh.

Indeed.

*Triumphant music* Loki gains +10 positive karma points

But he loses "moving the plot" points. :/

What is the save DC?
And no you got -5... Dave and messing with free will... Sensitive topic to say the least....

Also Jess, seeing as this apparently wasn't clear

In general PvP is not allowed except in certain very controlled situations. If both players are agreed to it and they have GM okay, some PvP situations can happen. Duels, competitions, even outright combat in certain pre-approved story situations. My one condition here is that players need to keep it friendly out-of-character. This is a game and I don't want to be putting out fires and playing referee every time I log on. The GM gets to have fun too. Trust me, it's more fun for everyone that way. :)

It's OK. I got this.
Readied action and stuff. :)
It helps that the trigger was on fire...

I have a +22 on this save seeing as it's a mind affecting effect with a caster with the evil subtype,

Ace isn't nice to David, at all. There will be no fake nice post later. Play it out in game, and you'll see why.

Because ace is obsessed with self-freedom and can't stand enchanters.

Bonus points for having a "traumatic event" with one in his head who can take control of him, apparently.

Will somebody explain this logic to me? When ANYONE else uses calm emotions to diffuse a tense situation it's okay, but when I do it it's bad? HOW IN THE NINE RINGS DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?!!

He also isn't lawful so he doesn't require fact checking or logic and isn't afraid to jump to conclusions :P

you all a really lucky Mel isn't there.

she would be standing there like a mom about to break up a fight between siblings grabbing them each by the ear and sending them to their rooms.

this scene comes to mind...

I'm sorry, but when other people have used it, it was either consensual or Lyn was involved and she goes with anything really.
Here this is player on player and we wanted this scene to happen. :/

it's not the source, but the targets

This isn't me yelling. This just needs to be seen. I'm starting to feel like we should wait for Lyn to get back before we move on. Ginni should be in this scene too, whether this is something that needs to be resolved or not.

Sorry for the delay guys. My mom stopped by to check on me, which she's been doing every so often since my accident. Then I had to catch up on the discussion stuff and then write up my post.

Of course, all this super freedom stuff with Ace is going to be REALLY interesting, to say the least, when he becomes the Champion of Destiny.

Magic has a good point.

Also, Magic, love the glitterdust bomb!

OK

Now that I got that post up, I am totally fine with waiting till Lyn gets back.

Of course, I didn't see Tyb's suggestion till after I posted, so I'm sorry for that.

Thanks. ^_^
It's something I figures craft wondrous would cover, and also would be very Tybs. I've been wanting to use it for a while, but apparently this isn't the time either. :/
I have more ideas.
One of them requires Tybs to be pick pocketed...

OK

Now that I got that post up, I am totally fine with waiting till Lyn gets back.

Of course, I didn't see Tyb's suggestion till after I posted, so I'm sorry for that.

Maybe you could copy the text and delete the post? We should get this resolved before we move on and that's a lot of moving on right there. :/

Igni's in the lunchroom too...

He might butt in later...

*facepalm*

And that's more moving on...
Can we remove these and wait for Lyn please?
You can save the text if you want to reuse them, but we need to wait.

*facepalm x 2 combo!*

The hypocrisy in Ace's statements is mind boggling.
Everyone knows what Dave is. He got caught and his laundry aired.
Ace won't even let people see him as he really is and seems fake 24/7.

How can he preach to people about freedom when he hasn't even let people have the freedom to judge him without a facade? He lies to people's faces every. time. they. look. at. him. so in a way they are being manipulated as well.

They are very much alike, Dave and Ace. 'Course what Dave did was unintentional.

And yes, I know this is IC stuff. I didn't say MG is a fake hypocritical turd, I said his character was.

There sis two teachers there, moving Royston up ready.

Maybe people will listen if I use the big text. Please. Stop. Posting. This. Until. Lyn. Gets. Back. Thank you.
